We were somewhere around Starbucks on the edge of the Luxor when the panic began to take hold.  I remember saying something like “I feel a bit empty-headed; maybe you should write my column this week…”

This week’s column is now online. Given that I went to CES without a pass and never once set foot in the convention center, it’s a miracle of journalism. By any other standards, as Hannah put it, “I can’t believe you got away with this shit”. 

I’m thinking of applying for the job of Steve Jobs’ letter-writer.
